Dillisk is a seaside food project based in the wilderness of Aughrusbeg, in Connemara, county Galway in the late summer months. Being lucky enough to be invited it was a foodie and photographers dream. What is essentially an old makeshift shed in the middle of nowhere has turned into an incredible and innovative popup food event and some of the best sustainable cooking you’ll ever come across, courtesy of uber talented young Katie Sanderson.
